On Health Care
I arose one morning
naked to potential harms -
exposed in a nation of lobbies.
And my duty was plain:
to recover myself from future misfortunes
distasteful to casual ears.
The family barber, the third
down neighbor, the cragged
librarian, the cordial face.
Who receive your ruin with genuine something,
reflect on relief for the us vs. them,
then repack your sadness as cautionary scare tales,
reinforcing a truth that is tired and hopeless.
So I went down to the cinema
where the action movies played,
hopin' to figure their talent
for makin' sick things okay with music.
I asked the teller, a flannel feller, what he reckoned would be a good score for malaria.
His glaze cried manager
and I complied, buying a billet
in the name of wellness.
I found the boss
stacking wood and pounding flapjacks,
asked him the best montage
for Hepatitis C.
His beard quilled anger
but I stood on regardless,
not wanting to ruin my mother.
I gambled he'd know
what sound effects go
with cancer or terminal others.
"Listen here, son,
these cords don't sort themselves
and I'm powerful tired.
Take this reel to Viewing Room B
and leave us your license
for measure."
The reel was government dogma
stashed safe in a shortbread tin.
Viewing Room B,
a one seat affair,
Biology style projector.
I slipped the copay into the slot
and watched the master plan.
It started red, red, clay red,
fallout red, fear for the innocent red,
and the music began: Old World choir
flanked by screeching wheels
and dire percussion, flashing images,
logic vouching for madness,
children weakened to wilting, laying on tile floors,
automated TouchTone condolences,
star for settlement,
pound for denial,
three to repeat all your options,
elderly neighbors lost
to the maw of vernacular,
forced purchase on Institution's shores,
amber prescription world views
halting further history, clothing the masses
in company tee shirts,
waiting room magazines stopping the bleeding,
doctors prescriptions incentives for getaways,
a trip to the Caymans,
a Percocet paradise,
A legal fist clenching convictions,
sapping Hippocrates' boast,
a black rotting hand on a slow dying beggar,
wrapped in a world of denial.
And then the dollar, the dollar,
the saving green dollar,
topped with a ten gallon halo,
riding to town on a horse named
Sally, white as in right as in old,
a trick shooter collar with burnt mustard tubing,
offering Pied Piper solutions,
blind insurrections against values
our fathers held dear.
A money transaction to chase away
fears the ancestors cured with compassion.
When it was over, I signed what they gave me
and tried to forget.

The RZA - A DAY TO GOD IS 1,000 YEARS [RZA]
Yo, yo, the A-1 sauce, the Divine Force
My mind blind force is known to blow time off course (More) [RZA]
Yo, yo, the A-1 sauce, the Divine Force
My mind blind force is known to blow time off course
Even, if I rode around the world on a blind horse
Strapped down, I'd still get my point across
Allah is father of all
You debate whether big, whether small
Whether short, whether tall
Whether dense, whether length
Whether strength, whether width
Either man, animal, bird or fish
Whether, black or white, more shapes than snowflakes
Existin', everywhere but you still can't locate
The man of steel couldn't bend me
Time couldn't end me
Even the great devil Satan that tried to befriend me
Understand the equality, God in a bodily
Form, lettin' my knowledge be born
Lettin' my knowledge be born...
"I wanna stay with you, forever"
[RZA]
Yo, yo, yo
I be the fatal flyin', I'm like NATO flyin'
Over your country and droppin' down forty tons of iron
Filled with explosives, your chance is hopeless
We have your head poppin' up like the blowfish
I'm not talkin' Hootie, nigga pass the zootie
I could bag the cootie, maybe smoke the ootie
The runaway train with no track
I got the heart of Faye Dunaway whippin' that child with the coatrack
T.V. droppin' bombs or droppin' germs
Baby moms in the courthouse, she's droppin' terms
Guns go off, bustin' all directions
D.J. choose, another fuckin' dope selection
"...with you forever..."
"Like the corners of my mind...."
"I wanna stay with you, forever"
[RZA]
Yo, the pen is mightier than the sword, as I face my worldly challenge
In the scale of justice and my heart remains balanced and neutral
My respect for all men is mutual
As my thoughts surpass a level to which you devils compute to
You've been given the chance to hear the true and living
So do the knowledge, son, before you do the wisdom
So you can understand, how the thunder and
Lighting above your head is caused by the Son of Man
We experimentin' with high explosions
That cause the place to quake and the surface erosions
The earth produce lava like the mouth produce saliva
This wisdom goes deeper than your scuba diver
In search for the pearl jewels sold to Tiffany
My verbal heart symphony will strike the epiphany
Insight, ignite, and then men might, see love and hell
Hell and right, then excel, to be masters of your circumference
First, by obtainin' mastery of your common sense
This supreme wisdom clears a man's vision
You can see it through the lies and the fantism
Of the equivocal, two-faced political individual
Who's only out for residual, fabricatin' lies
To eradicate the wise
But we come to civilize and gravitate to the skies
Of the heavenly celestial sphere
Trust me, son, it's dear, in between your ears
[Chorus 2X: RZA]
A day to God is a thousand years
Men walk around with a thousand fears
The true joy of love bring a thousand tears
In the world of desire, there's a thousand snares
"I wanna stay with you forever" [2X] (Less)
